Bonjour! Starting off with a TEMP CHECK -- going over our favorite Olympic Opening Ceremony moments (and why it offended the far right) and how Beyonc\xe9 is reclaiming the flag aesthetic. Also, why you should be excited about Val Demings joining the USPS Board, and what that might mean for Post Master General Louis DeJoy.\nMAIN NEWS\n14:15 Sami walks us through 3 of the most dangerous groups that are behind Donald Trump that we have affectionately nicknamed the \u201ctrifecta of death.\u201d This includes Project 2025/the Heritage Foundation, technocrats like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk (who we can thank for JD Vance\u2019s presence on the ticket) and anti-western foreign interests like Russia and China. Even though all three groups have different tactics, it\u2019s clear their mutual short-term goal is to get Donald Trump elected to end American democracy for their own ends.\nDOWN BALLOT ERA \n48:45 This week, we\u2019re shouting out democratic candidate for Ohio\u2019s 12th district, Jerrad Christian, who outed Trump & Guiliani\u2019s dealings with the Russian mafia, going back to the 1980's on his X thread. Christian highlights how the Russian mafia was living in Trump Tower, and Giuliani\u2019s involvement with them. We love a representative who does his homework.\nRead Jerrad Christian's full X thread here: https://x.com/JerradChristian/status/1816489797004984584\nAMERICAN'T\n52:00 We simply can\u2019t fathom the lack of vetting of JD Vance. That\u2019s what happens when you put Don Jr. and Eric in charge.\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
